Lovejoy - It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless!

[Intro]
A Bm9 D/C# Bm7
A Bm9 D/C#
Bm7

[Verse 1]
A Bm9 D/C#
I lost the passion that comes with living
Bm7 A Bm9 D/C#
Since I started university
Bm7 A Bm9 D/C#
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
Bm7
And maybe use a sextant
A Bm9 D/C#
But now I just press facsimiles
Bm7 A Bm9 D/C#
And you’re exactly who you wanted to be
Bm7
That’s what you said
A Bm9 D/C# Bm7
‘Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed, but
A Bm9 D/C# Bm7
You’re forgetting that I’ve got to go to work and eat my food
A Bm9 D/C#
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
Bm7
And maybe use a sextant

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m F#m(maj7) A Aadd#11
I don’t miss you
Dmaj7 Gm/D
I miss the thought of what we were

[Chorus]
A Bm F#m F#m(maj7) A
‘Cause this is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
Bm F#m F#m(maj7) A
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
Bm F#m F#m(maj7) A
You’ll never get rid of me, oh, I’m like a fucking disease
Bm
I’ll make a home in your gut
F#m F#m(maj7) A
‘Cause it’s somewhere warm to sleep

[Bridge]
Bm9 D/C# Bm7

[Verse 2]
A Bm9 D/C#
And what was your thought when you realised
Bm7 A
You’ll never feel naive love again?
Bm9 D/C#
Was it pain or was it sickness?
Bm7 A
Were you proud of who you’d been?
Bm9 D/C#
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
Bm7 A
Replaced by apathy and dating apps
Bm9 D/C#
You held his hands, it felt like flying
Bm7 A
Now he’s just another man
Bm9 D/C#
You’d rather he was inside than beside you
Bm7 A Bm9 D/C#
But he’s talking marriage and a future
Bm7 A Bm9 D/C#
He’s picking a lock he doesn’t go into
Bm7 A Bm9 D/C#
He’s knife in a wound, he’s a suture

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m F#m(maj7) A Aadd#11
I don’t miss you
Dmaj7 Gm/D
I miss the thought of what we were

[Chorus]
A Bm F#m F#m(maj7) A
‘Cause this is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
Bm F#m F#m(maj7) A
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
Bm F#m F#m(maj7) A
You’ll never get rid of me, oh, I’m like a fucking disease
Bm
I’ll make a home in your gut
F#m F#m(maj7) A
‘Cause it’s somewhere warm to sleep

[Outro]
Bm F#m
It’s okay
F#m(maj7) A
Anything to make me feel less numb
Bm F#m
It’s okay
F#m(maj7) A
Anything to make me feel less numb
Bm F#m
It’s okay
F#m(maj7) A
Anything to make me feel less numb
Bm F#m F#m(maj7)
It’s okay
A Bm F#m
Eat my rent and eat my food
F#m(maj7) A
And eat my dues and eat those kids
Bm F#m
It’s okay
And maybe use a sextant
